alternate side parking rules aren't supposed to be suspended this week. greg began the arduous task of breaking up the ice around the car. we're good for monday, but not tuesday. maybe it'll melt some more since it's going up to 40. and maybe we'll get a little more rain. of course it's kind of funny, anyway. the street cleaner probably won't be able to get through this week at all. there is stills so much ice along the curb.by day the blue will pale down into white where it touches the white of the land, after sunset it has a new circumference-orange, melting upwards into tenderest purple. but the core of blue persists, and so it is by night. then the stars hang like lamps from the immense vault. the distance between the vault and them is as nothing to the distance behind them, and that farther distance, though beyond colour, last freed itself from blue. -e.m. forster (a passage to india)

a daunting task

How long did it take him? That looks exhausting!
ReplyDeleteha ha! i think after 30 to 45 minutes he gave up and hoped the warmer air or rain would take care of the rest. when i look outside this morning, i see it looks slushier. i can also see that he mainly did the area by the outside left driver's tire. there's still quite a pile of snow leftover from the plow behind the car.
